Royal A-ware agreed in early February 2026 to acquire Global Dairy Ventures, a Barcelona-based distributor of cheese and specialty dairy products, from funds managed by Spanish investor Abac Capital.
Why Royal A-ware is buying Global Dairy Ventures
Royal A-ware said the deal strengthens its position in southern Europe and lets it offer customers a broader product range. It already has a sales office and production and packaging sites in Spain, Portugal and Italy.

Deal terms and financing
Financial terms were not disclosed. GDV trades through three businesses, Iberconseil, Disalp and Adonis, and its management team stays in place.
Regulatory approvals and timing
Royal A-ware expected to complete the deal in the following weeks. A Dairy Industries report in July 2026 described GDV as acquired, though no formal completion announcement was found.
Market context
GDV links European premium cheese and dairy producers with retail and foodservice customers. Royal A-ware bought Belgium's The Dairy Food Group in 2024, Just Food noted.
